Once again, Clinton is being exposed as \u201ccompelled to mislead\u201d and ensnaring \u201cher subordinates and friends in a web of deceit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And to think she almost got away with stealing the presidency.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is in keeping with her history that she is portrayed as the off-stage chief conniver at a trial that is, like her, something of a throwback. Coming six years after the 2016 presidential campaign, the Sussmann trial inevitably carries an air of anti-climax.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After all, we have known since the Robert Mueller report in 2019 that the charge that Donald Trump colluded with Russia was fake <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>. And we have known for almost as long that Clinton\u2019s campaign secretly funded the smear merchants at Fusion GPS who hired Christopher Steele who fabricated a \u201cdossier\u201d that was long on lies and gossip and short on facts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dirtiest_of_dirty_tricks\"><\/span>Dirtiest of dirty tricks\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/clinton-comey.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"former FBI director James Comey\" class=\"wp-image-22364778\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/clinton-comey.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/clinton-comey.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/clinton-comey.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Former FBI director James Comey sits down for an interview in 2018. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Walt Disney Television via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Finally, we have known that Jim Comey\u2019s FBI was punch drunk on power and some of its top officials were foaming at the mouth to help Clinton defeat Trump.

His assignment was to probe how and why the FBI took the unprecedented step of spying on the campaign of the opposing party\u2019s presidential candidate and while the going has been slow, he is adding important details to a major stain on our national history.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration would surely love to shut Durham down, but convicting Sussmann likely would give the prosecutor new impetus and save his probe from the Democrats\u2019 ax.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is vital that he continue because, although it failed to elect Clinton, the hoax was sensationally successful in capturing the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>\u2019s attention and implanting a deep distrust of Trump, thanks in part to the Deep State\u2019s anonymous sources who fed media hysterics.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Democrats, especially Nancy Pelosi, insisted Trump was an illegitimate president for his entire term. One result was that the party refused to negotiate with him, robbing America of any meaningful bipartisanship even on issues like infrastructure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Midterms_fallout\"><\/span>Midterms fallout\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/clinton-sussman-2.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Former President Donald Trump speaks at a rally\" class=\"wp-image-22364711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/clinton-sussman-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/clinton-sussman-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/clinton-sussman-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>We have known since the Robert Mueller report in 2019 that the charge that Donald Trump colluded with Russia was fake news.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Joe Maiorana\/AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another outcome was the 2018 midterms, where the hoax surely played a role in the public\u2019s decision to hand control of the House to Dems, who instantly began their Russia, Russia, Russia investigation and soon turned to impeaching Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Clinton lies, then, did enormous damage and, as Trump immodestly but correctly says, a weaker president would have reacted to the false attacks by curling up into a fetal position.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Meanwhile, the related misconduct of the media, the FBI and other government agencies resulted in an incalculable loss of credibility that continues to grow as new facts emerge.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In that sense, the most redeeming feature of the Sussmann case is the proof that the Steele dossier wasn\u2019t Clinton\u2019s only effort to fabricate so-called \u201cevidence\u201d about Trump and Russia. Testimony is revealing that the pattern the two efforts followed was almost identical.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>First her campaign concocted a lie, then secretly peddled it to Trump-hating media and the Trump-hating FBI. In both cases, it concealed the funding as \u201clegal services.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the Sussmann case, the part of Christopher Steele was played by tech executive Rodney Joffe, who produced data purporting to show Trump computers communicating with a Russian bank. It was regarded as bunk even by the FBI.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was nonetheless Sussmann\u2019s job to get The New York Times to run a story on the claim, an effort Clinton herself approved, according to testimony from her former campaign manager, Robbie Mook. Although the Times didn\u2019t bite on that one, other media outlets did, and Clinton herself tweeted about the stories to magnify their impact as she hoped for an October surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/clinton-sussman-5.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Special Counsel John Durham\" class=\"wp-image-22364714\" width=\"618\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/clinton-sussman-5.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1233 1236w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/clinton-sussman-5.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=925 927w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/clinton-sussman-5.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=618 618w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/clinton-sussman-5.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=308 309w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/clinton-sussman-5.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\"\/><figcaption>Special Counsel John Durham departs the courtroom after day four of his trial against former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Ron Sachs \u2013 CNP \/ MEGA<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of her aides then, Jake Sullivan, was also pushing the fake story as a national security threat, and he is now Joe Biden\u2019s national security adviser.

It said intelligence officials learned Clinton planned to tar Trump with Russia ties \u201cas a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The notes suggest Brennan briefed then-President Barack Obama on the finding, yet Obama still went along with the FBI probe of Trump and told Comey how to brief the president-elect in January of 2017 on the most salacious parts of the Steele dossier.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Assuming Durham is able to continue, his real challenge will be finding someone in her circle who was not ensnared in Clinton\u2019s web of deceit.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
